      I did too, because the alternative was Trump. But saying: stop complaining about old politicians, you chose them is insulting when 46 out of the 50 states only had 70 year olds to choose from in both the primary and the general.

          *whispers* I don’t think he can accept that people like you are out there.

          Look: I’m going to admit. Biden seemed to be the “establishment” pick (I was a Sanders supporter) and that vague, distant impression is why I didn’t like him until he actually got elected and started passing his policy goals.

          You might have known he was going to be doing things like passing the CHIPS Act and banning slave labor solar panel imports and ending ICE worksite immigration raids and keeping student loan payments paused.

          But if you did, that’s an impressive amount of political awareness. I’m genuinely not sure how one becomes that politically aware. And I think the person you’re responding to might not accept that it’s even possible.
